3QTF - PubMed Abstract: 
A novel series of macrocyclic ortho-aminobenzamide Hsp90 inhibitors is reported. A basic nitrogen within the tether linking the aniline nitrogen atom to a tetrahydroindolone moiety allowed access to compounds with good physical properties. Important structure-activity relationship information was obtained from this series which led to the discovery of a soluble and stable compound which is potent in an Hsp90 binding and cell-proliferation assay.
